Looking for a great vacation rental close by to Acadia National Park? You've found it - you can't get any closer to the Park than this charming streamside cottage. In fact, the back of this property abuts the boundary with Acadia National Park and is just a few steps away! Located in the wonderful village of Seal Harbor, the cottage is situated on nearly an acre of beautiful, mature trees and has a gorgeous brook running right through the middle of the property. Sleep to the restful sounds of pretty Stanley Brook tumbling seaward alongside your cottage. The house sleeps up to six people with three bedrooms, two baths, comfortable living room, library, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and relaxing front porch. This home is ideally situated for all of the exciting outdoor activities that Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park have to offer. It is a pleasant 10 minute walk to the beach and to Jordan Pond, a very short walking distance to the entire system of hiking, biking and riding trails in Acadia National Park, very close to Wildwood Stables and only an eight mile drive to the shops and restaurants of Bar Harbor.
